Gizelle Bryant confirms that she and Jamal Bryant have called it quits after trying to rekindle their romance.
“There’s an update. There’s a plot twist,” the Real Housewives of Potomac star said on The Breakfast Club on May 28, according to a report by Reality Blurb. “So, [Jamal and I] were working on us getting back together, and being back together, but he lives in Atlanta I live in Maryland. With the pandemic, we realized it’s just not the right time. It’s just not gonna work.”
“Right now I am footloose and fancy-free. I am single,” she continued. “I am enjoying my hot girl summer, spring, winter, and fall.”
Despite ending their romance, Gizelle makes it clear that she and Jamal will always have love for one another.
“Jamal will always be in my life. He’s the father to all of my kids,” she explained. “We’ve been together and in each other’s lives [for] 25 years. He is one of my best friends and I to him. I don’t know anyone more than I know a Jamal Bryant.”
In the season six trailer, which Bravo released earlier this week, Gizelle is seen discussing her relationship with Jamal where she revealed to her bestie, Kalixto Blount, that the pandemic was the reason why their romance is falling apart.
During Part 1 of RHOP Season 4 reunion, Gizelle revealed that she was dating her ex, the father of her three daughters, Jamal. "There's somebody that I have been committed, that I've been, yes," she told host Andy Cohen at that time before clarifying her "strangest answer ever" by saying, "There's someone that is heavily pursuing me, and I am enjoying the pursuit and I am open to it."
Gizelle admitted that the transition from married couple to exes back to dating hasn't been easy for their three daughters, Grace, Angel, and Adore. "You know what, they're a little confused, to be honest with you, because they've never seen us together in that way. We got divorced 12 years ago," Gizelle explained. "So when he comes into town and he wants to take me to dinner, they're like, 'Wait a minute, aren't we all going?' Because that's what we normally do."
Gizelle and Jamal ended their marriage because he was unfaithful but the green eye'd beauty reveals why she is giving Jamal a second shot at love. "You know, I look back, and I just feel like nobody is what their mistakes are. And I feel like he's a different person, I'm a different person," she shared. "So we are baby-stepping, but we are moving into the direction that we want to move into."
